Collect software reviews from AlternativeTo

What is AlternativeTo?

AlternativeTo helps you find software alternatives based on user recommendations and reviews.

Why should you connect AlternativeTo to Cycle: Key benefits

1. Centralize all software reviews from AlternativeTo in a single source of truth.

2. Save time on processing incoming software reviews as Cycle's AI can process qualitative data for you.

3. Get a customer voice dashboard based on all your AlternativeTo software reviews to get a macro view of what customers tell you.

How the AlternativeTo integration works

When a customer submits a new software review (G2, Capterra, App Store, etc.), it gets automatically pushed to Cycle. Cycle's AI will extract product insights from the review and map relevant quotes to your roadmap items.

The customer will be linked to that feedback so the product team can reach out if they need more context. This also helps the product team close the loop with customers once they release a feature or update based on the review.
